Dean Bragonier

Dean Bragonier is the Founder and Executive Dyslexic of NoticeAbility, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students with dyslexia identify their unique strengths and build self-esteem.

Shaped by his own challenges with dyslexia and struggles in traditional education, Dean ultimately discovered a love of learning at Bates College. After graduating, he embraced entrepreneurship, launching a business on Martha’s Vineyard that grew into a successful full-scale enterprise. Through that experience, he came to better understand and harness the strengths of his dyslexic mind.

As a social entrepreneur, Dean has founded his own nonprofit organizations and served as a board member and advisor to numerous others. NoticeAbility is the culmination of Dean’s passion for education and his conviction that the advantages of dyslexia far outweigh its associated challenges.
